Coffee Caramel Cake

This cake was AMAZING!!! So moist, so coffeelicious, so caramely!!!! YUMMMMMM!! (I just invented a few words there! I'm ok with that, it's totally worth it!) If you are a fan of cake, a fan of coffee, or a fan of caramel, this cake it definitely for you! The absolute best part about this cake is how super duper easy it is to put together! Your guests will be wowed! How do I know this?! I wowed my guests last night with it! All 3 of them cleaned their plates! :) They couldn't believe I made a cake in the slow cooker, but they were even more astonished at how great it came out! Score! ;)

I made my own frosting, BUT if you don't want to do that, just buy some frosting and mix in the instant coffee! EASY PEASY. However, I have to tell you, my frosting is AMAZING! It does need to be refrigerated though, because it contains milk.

Ok, I'm getting right to it!!! Again, you have GOT to try this!!!!

Coffee Caramel Cake

Ingredients:

1 White Cake Mix and all of the ingredients it calls for (I always substitute applesauce for the oil!)

Hi Hope, I made this today, actually just got it out of the crock pot. It DID fall out! I put a platter over the top, flipped it over, and voila! I'm going to post it later tonight. The batter and the icing tasted just like caramel. UMM! I didn't have any of caramel sauce, tho', probably better that way. Thanks so much for this super easy recipe!XoXoXoJoy

To "Anonymous" in UK - You really must live a deprived life! (Sorry, just kidding.) I'm not sure about white cake mixes being part of American culture, but Crisco definitely is! It is a vegetable shortening, and is of a solid consistency. There is also a "butter-flavored" Crisco, and I use it to make pie crust. Wish I could send you some, but don't think that's allowed. Good luck finding a substitute. - Iowa farm wife
